"PSR 7th Annual Dinner: Norman Solomon" (48 minutes)
Norman Solomon was the keynote speaker at the 7th Annual Dinner of the Sacramento Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility on November 7, 2010. The title of his presentation was "The Cost of War and the Potential for Peace." An independent journalist, Mr. Solomon has spent much of his life working for peace and social justice and has been described by the Los Angeles Times as "a formidable thinker and activist." He has published extensively in prestigious newspapers and journals in the U.S. and abroad as well as on the internet. His most recent books are "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning us to Death," and "Made Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America's Warfare State". Mr. Solomon is the founder and president of the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national consortium of policy researchers and analysts.

"Wild Versus Wall" (19 minutes)
The new Sierra Club border film, Wild Versus Wall, details the unique and diverse natural areas along the southern borders of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and explains how they have been and will be affected by current and planned federal border policy and infrastructure, as well as the danger to our rights and safety imposed by sweeping new powers granted to the Department of Homeland Security.

"Oil, Smoke and Mirrors" (50 minutes)
This film offers a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and our shared future in light of imminent, under-reported and mis-represented energy production constraints. Through a series of candid, informed and articulate interviews, "Oil, Smoke and Mirrors" argues that the bizzare events surrounding the 9/11 attacks, and the equally bizzare prosecution of the so-called "war on terror", can be more credibly understood in the wider context of an imminent and critical divergence between available global oil supply and global oil demand.
